\*Glide api updates usage bugged \* **Team ID:** - In the Glide dashoard URL, e.g. [https://go.glideapps.com/o/vph044O57vWPf4kthsrp](https://go.glideapps.com/o/vph044O57vWPf4kthsrp) **App ID:** - In the Glide builder URL, e.g. [https://go.glideapps.com/app/QciPLz0Ni2tyZ13SS7mo/layout](https://go.glideapps.com/app/QciPLz0Ni2tyZ13SS7mo/layout) **Description** - _I started using api recently, and when I read about it, it was said it uses ONE update per 1k rows. I just checked my usage for this month saying that the glide api used over 4.5k updates.I don’t remember using it for over 4 milion rows. This must be a bug. I am using a python script that takes the rows from somewhere else ( external app ) and uploads the new invoices ( yes it checks it from the cache of the script and has the last invoice number sent to glide so it doesn t get the rows again from glide ). We have been using this for tests first, but it’s only been for a week now. It seems impossible to get over 4.5k updates_ ---

Are you also using call API columns? ---

Which version of the API are you using? V1 is one update per mutation (add/edit/delete row) ---

Call api was used once for only one table and the result was stored in a cache file, so it doesn’t call for it multiple times ( even if it was used 3-4 times, the table had less than 100 rows not almost 4 milion ) ---

I used the “show api” that’s given in the Data→ Show Api ---

Okay, that’s V1. And as I said, V1 charges one update per mutation. So if you add or update 100 rows, for example, that would be 100 updates. V2 charges less, but only works with Glide Big Tables. - Documentation for V1: [Getting Started with the Glide API | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/data-sources/getting-started-with-the-glide-api) - Documentation for V2: [Glide API v2.0 - Glide API Docs](https://apidocs.glideapps.com/api-reference/v2/general/introduction) ---

I analyzed the documetation and checked the “show api” for the specific table ( right click on table → show api ) as in the documentation, but it gives the same thing as what I used before, but I will try like this and check what happens. I used the api for glide big tables, but I do have one table for inventory which is a simple table and had to get the rows once from there too with the api, and I got almost 3k rows in there, so probably that’s why it charged 3k updates ( as u said, 1 update per row in normal tables ). I didn’t know it charges differently for table type ---

Get Rows in the V1 API is one update per call. So fetching 3000 rows should be only 2 or 3 updates. ---
